Subject: `git merge --abort` does not run `git rerere clear`
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2018 20:32:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAD-JurLXh=rOC=bhjTa8jCpeDWkbDhCztSpjLuMEUGm1-QnAiw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
`man git-rerere` says:
> clear
>
> Reset the metadata used by rerere if a merge resolution is to be

> [--skip|--abort] will automatically invoke this command.
It makes sense that `git am [--skip|--abort]` and `git rebase
[--skip|--abort]` would run `git rerere clear`.
However, if they run it, then shouldn't `git merge --abort` run it, too?
If not, then what is the reason why not, and might it be helpful for
this reason to be mentioned at some appropriate place in the
documentation?
Thanks :)
